Impeach Jonathan Now: Presidency threatens APC with Treason

Miffed by the level of impunity and recklessness in the government of
the day, the APC has said:
"Our country is drifting dangerously and our people are divided now
perhaps more than at any other point in our history, with the
exception of the civil war period. There is a total failure of leadership,
even as insecurity, unprecedented corruption, palpable impunity,
massive unemployment and hunger stalk the land."
The APC then urged the National Assembly to do the needful by
impeaching President Goodluck Jonathan and restore the country to
the path of sanity and economic prosperity for all Nigerians.
But Jonathan's camp says the call is treasonable. Below is the threat
from the Presidency:
"We have noted with utter disdain, the reckless and irresponsible call
by the APC on Sunday for the National Assembly to commence
impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan.
"Ordinarily, we would not have dignified Alhaji Lai Mohammed’s
latest vituperations in the service of his paymasters with a response,
but we thought it necessary to warn that the Federal Government will
not standby idly and let the nation be plunged into unnecessary
crises and political instability because of the desperation and
apparent readiness of the APC spokesman and his gang of power-
seeking desperadoes to sacrifice the well-being of the country on the
altar of their selfish personal ambitions.
"The Presidency totally condemns the decision by Alhaji Mohammed
and his party to move further beyond the bounds of honourable and
acceptable political conduct with the senseless call for the
impeachment of a President who continues to sincerely devote himself
to the discharge of the sacred mandate freely given to him by
Nigerians.
"The APC, which remains a minority party with doubtful credentials in
the National Assembly, knows fully well that its attempt to hector and
blackmail a Parliament dominated by loyal members of the
President’s party, the PDP, into an impeachment process will come to
nothing.
"But it has cavalierly embarked on this outrageous gambit, with scant
regard for peace, order, security and political stability in the country,
in furtherance of its dastardly and heinous strategy of over-heating
the polity and working to cause public disaffection against the
Jonathan Presidency with lies, false accusations and unjustifiable
indictments ahead of the 2015 general elections.
"The Jonathan Administration does not need Lai Mohammed or the
APC to remind it of its constitutional responsibility for the security
and well-being of Nigerians. The President will continue to do his
utmost best to achieve positive national transformation in all areas in
spite of efforts by the opposition to thwart or disparage the work of
his administration."
But the APC has said calling for the impeachment of a President who
lacks the capacity to deliver the peoples expectations is a normal
thing, anywhere in the world. The party says Nigerians know the truth.
